OPELIKA, Alabama -- Prosecutors in the capital murder case against Desmonte Leonard have asked the trial to be postponed.

Leonard’s trial is now set for June 3, which is the same week as the two-year anniversary of the multiple shooting that occurred during a party at an Auburn apartment complex, the Opelika-Auburn News reported.

Leonard is accused of fatally shooting three men, including two former Auburn football players. Three others were injured.

DeMario Pitts, of Opelika and former Auburn University football players Ladarious Phillips and Ed Christian died in the shooting that occurred at the University Heights apartments on June 9, 2012. Former AU football player Eric Mack and Roanoke natives Xavier Moss and John Q. Robertson were injured.

Lee County District Attorney Robbie Treese said in court last week that he and his staff wouldn’t be ready for trial in April so the judge in the case postponed it by two months.

Leonard is charged with one count of capital murder, two counts of attempted murder, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of first-degree assault. He is being held at the Montgomery County Jail.
